By the editors · 2 min readOpens with freesia, clean, slightly green and softly peppery, with no citrus or fruit to brighten it. The first impression is sheer and almost watery rather than vivid.
In the heart, magnolia and iris share the centre. Magnolia adds a creamy lemony lift while iris contributes a cool, rooty-powdery thread. The pairing is restrained and elegant, holding the perfume in a quiet floral register.
The base of amber and musk warms the drydown softly, the amber providing just enough resin to add depth and the musk smoothing everything into a clean, powdery finish. Projection is light, longevity moderate, the perfume settling into a powdery iris-magnolia skin scent suited to an everyday floral.
